“ Brilliant service and even better food! Loved the taste - best I've had in Canada so far! The tofu was so crispy and the sauce was heavenly. The house chicken fried rice was also amazing and the portions are perfect. The fried rice is almost definitely enough for two. ”
“ I’ve been coming here for idk maybe 7 years, I originally lived down the street when they opened. I’ve lived in Windermere since and I’m currently downtown and I will still drive 30min to eat here sometimes 5 days a week. Their satay pho is my favourite. Their broth is like no other in the city (I’ve tried probably every pho place) idk it could be 40 dollars a bowl I’d still buy it. High quality, local ingredients, alberta beef. 20/10 my fav pho place in Edmonton. The family who owns it is extremely sweet and I love coming here. Every friend I’ve ever brought here over the years continues to come back as well. Keep being amazing!!!!! ”
“ I've been a handful of times... Amazing tasting food every time! BEST PHO, hands down. Very simple, lots of super tender beef, the flavor of the broth is phenomenal! I've been to at least 30 pho restaurants, mad I didn't try the pho here earlier. The prices are a tad high but it makes it more of a "treat"! My new favorite pho place ”
“ First time eating here and I was so impressed! Hours later, I’m still thinking about my delicious meal and already planning my next visit. I had the Singapore noodles, salad rolls, and a Vietnamese coffee, and every item was phenomenal! As someone with celiac, I always feel cautious eating out, but I was really impressed by the clear gluten-friendly options on the menu. The staff was super helpful, and I felt confident talking to them about my dietary needs. I usually feel the effects of being glutened quickly, but after 8 hours, I’m feeling absolutely fine! I also really appreciate that they are a small business making an effort to source local ingredients. I had a fantastic experience and will absolutely be back. Thank you for making my first visit so enjoyable and safe! ”
“ I’ve ordered from here many times via Uber Eats, but dining in was an even better experience. The restaurant is spotless—including the bathroom, which smelled amazing. I had the grilled pork chop—tender and delicious—and paired it with my favorite Jarritos Pineapple. The ambience was calm, the music just right, and the open kitchen was impressively clean and organized. Menu favorites are clearly listed on a board, which I really appreciated. Fast service, great food, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Definitely a go-to spot ”
“ A great chinese restaurant. We wanted to have some authentic and fresh Chinese food, so we visited the place. The restaurant's interior and atmosphere was great. The food was very fresh and absolutely delicious. The waitress was very pleasant. Overall, it was a great experience. We'll definitely visit again. ”
“ This is a lovely spot to dine in. Love the atmosphere here! The servers are great, the space is warm and clean! I really liked the open kitchen concept. The food - They have chicken and beef broth on the dine in menu 11/10! The sizzling platters are delicious... I was tempted to order another to go because I knew I would crave it the next day.. The spring rolls are also the perfect starter. However, they only come with 3 so if you plan to share just ask for two orders, You won’t regret it! Looking forward to tasting more on the menu! ”
“ Love this place because they use fresh ingredients and keep their kitchen super clean. The food tastes delicious! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, I've almost had it all. Yes, it's pricey. Yes, it's worth it. ”
